bdowning Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 I was going to say polio, but there is no "cure" for it once you get it. It can only be prevented (through vaccinations). And it still exists in a few countries where the vaccines are not widely available. Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interferon can help to "cure" a virus, but expensive and side effects could be as bad as a disease itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read polio is making a comeback around the world, just like & with the ChiCom virus. And infectious deceases that have been eradicated in the US are making a comeback because of our southern border. Which brings us to the stupidity of Open Boarders, New World Order, One World Government, Open Society idiots.

It won’t play a roll in the US since anyone that goes to school in the US receives the polio vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke04 Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Polio vaccine has been proposed as possible temporary vaccine for COVID-19 until a more directed vaccine is developed. There is some "anecdotal" evidence from Russia that supports it's use and it is known to be non-lethal. makaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes is that one person to infect many, And those many ifect many more,And then, those states are no longer almost free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The President said 2 'very smart men' came to the White House & told him 2.2 million Americans would die if he didn't lock the county down. Why should he wear gloves? If the virus is on the gloves he can still become infected. Also anything he touches will become contaminated. And most people don't know how to properly remove gloves Gloves don't kill the virus. If I scrub my hands any more than I already do, I'll be down to bone. The President also said 15 people had the virus, and it will go away. He said lots of stuff. A lot of it contradictory to what he originally said. But then changed his mind again. And WOE! to anyone that reminded him Now is not the time to let our guard down. I don't know what scares me more. Some of the statements in this thread, or that boat. That picture is gonna give me nightmares. Are they fishing? Or is that some sort of invading force?

And said 'essential' employees are coming into contact 1000 times more than average. But we are finding who the 'essential' people are....compared to the under productive & leaches of society.

BroadSoundBound Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Maybe they will allow fishing but to only essential employees. Then the non-essential employee fisherman will battle with them. Gangs formed, lines drawn, thousands die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
